A Lack of Faith
John 4:43-
Jesus has just experienced the life changing results of true faith in the lives of the Samaritans at Sychar.
A woman who was driven by shame repented and found abundance of life in Christ.
Her response to this abundance was to go and stop at nothing to share this new life with her townspeople.
A city was transformed by their faith in Jesus.
Now Jesus returns to Galilee and the response of His own people falls so short of true faith.
They welcome him based upon His sign and wonders, not His messiahship.
John will challenge the readers understanding of what faith is over the next several chapters as Jesus did with his followers.
Life changing faith comes only from true belief in Christ.
Not merely a belief in what Jesus can do, but a true belief in who Jesus is.
It is not enough to merely believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven.
We must believe why he is the only way to heaven.
A Call to True Faith
John 4:46-
The man is likely an official in the court of Herod Antipas.
He comes to Jesus out of desperation, the last hope for his son.
His heart comes seeking what Jesus may do for him, moved by the reports of the signs and miracles that Jesus had performed.
Jesus challenges the object of the faith of the official and the crowd.
The object of their faith was the work of Jesus’ hands and not Jesus himself.
They believed that He could do miraculous signs and wonders but failed to believe that He was the Messiah.
Is our faith the same?
Do we trust in Jesus’ ability to save our souls or do we trust in His Lordship?
The Reason for True Faith
John 4:51-
The man leaves believing that Jesus will do what He says, but when the servant comes and tells the man that his son is healed, the man is brought into true faith by his recognition that Jesus fulfilled his promise.
At the very same time Jesus had said go, the boy was healed.
Jesus was one to be trusted and if this was true, then would he not be truthful with his other words?
The man moved to true faith in Jesus, not just the signs of his hands but every word of his mouth.
This is true faith.
